'Total shock' - Josh Charlton breaks Filippo Ganna's individual pursuit world record

Josh Charlton in the individual pursuit.

Update: Josh Charlton's individual pursuit world record was bettered again in the final by Italy's Jonathan Milan, who won the world title with a time of 3.59.153. Charlton's benchmark stood for around six hours. "It's more than most people have a world record for. Most people don't have one at all," he said.

Great Britain's Josh Charlton set a staggering, and very unexpected, world record in the 4km individual pursuit at the UCI Track World Championships on Friday afternoon.
